A glorious poem, matched with bold, folk-art illustrations, tells the dramatic and entertaining story of how the important people of a town set about trying to catch a crocodile and fail completely.They are shown up when a little girl leads it quietly back to the water...As in all the best stories, it is not bravery but understanding that is needed..This is a memorable and catchy verse story. (Guardian)
A relatively simple story told in quite fun verse and unusual illustrations which evoke woodcut or lino prints. The colour combination is dramatic as the black and green illustrations appear on a slightly mottled pale yellow background colour. Some playful use of typography adds to the overall effect of drama. I like its quirkiness. (Books for Keeps)
A swirling combination of text and illustration each feeding into the other. .. a real joy (Carousel)
Delightfully illustrated, witty verse story. (Ibby Link)
One morning, Falguni the fruitseller finds a crocodile in a ditch. "Catch that crocodile!" shout the terrified townspeople. But who will do it?
Probin policeman with his stick?
Can Doctor Dutta do the trick?
Will Bhayanak Singh drag it away?
Or is the crocodile here to stay?
But then there is another thought:
Who says a crocodile should be caught?
Catch that Crocodile! is another classic picture book from the award-winning team behind Tiger on a Tree. Acclaimed children's poet Anushka Ravishankar tells the hilarious nonsense-verse tale of a rampant reptileand his hapless assailants, imparting a subtle conservationist message along the way.
